It's fun to work with Jess
at Dakota Stones because she tends to be fearless when it comes to
trying new, innovative things. I see her take risks with a just the
right amount of bravery and blasé to get the job done, and this
polishing project was no different. We took the already beautiful, rough
heishi beads from the
dsPremier line and polished them with the JOOLTOOL,
what turned out to be an amazing polishing kit. I, of course, watched
from the sidelines, hoping it wouldn't grind the beautiful stones to
dust or break them apart somehow. I was actually amazed at the
technology of this machine and you can find out more about it

The final polished result?
Stunning. While the original stones are raw, textural and beautiful
in their own right, the polishing definitely intensified the colors
and revealed a natural luster. Very cool. I'd say it's a win/win either
way you go.
